Claim: Starbucks refused free product to G.I.s serving in Iraq, saying it didn't support the war and anyone in it.

Status: False.
Dear Readers,

Almost 5 months ago I sent an email to you my faithful friends. I did a wrong thou that needs to be cleared up. I heard from word of mouth about how Starbucks said they didn't support the war and all. I was having enough of that kind of talk and didn't do my research properly like I should have. This is not true. Starbucks supports the men and women in uniform. They have personally contacted me and I have been sent many of their Company's policy on this issue. So I apologize for this quick wrong letter I sent out to you. Now I ask that you all pass this email around to everyone you passed the last one to. Thank you very much for understanding about this.

But starbucks is fuked up though, just ask any of the emergency workers that were involved with rescue on 9/11. And don't believe the BS that it was just the store manager that refused to serve those guys water and made them pay for it.......it was Starbucks.

Did you read the link? That item is also addressed, but not in a "sound bite".

None-the-less, the rumor posted that started this thread is 100% false. Period!
 
I heard the Dick Cheney eats bunnies. Read it on the internet, actually.
 
Isn't ExxonMobile owned by satan? I think I read that in an e-mail once.

You know, whenever I see an email that has obviously been forwarded a hundred times, I smell BS. You might follow the scent to snopes.com before you embarrass yourself in the future.

No, actually, it was Proctor and Gamble. In fact, I saw a signed letter from Phil Donahue many years ago stating that the CEO once admitted it on his show.

This was before the internet, but it was a sheet of paper that had been photocopied about 20 times before, so it must have been true, right?
